Journalists are being deployed to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, with donations used to keep reporting free and accessible without paywalls. Quality journalism is presented as funded by supporters who can afford it to ensure universal access. Councils across England signalled they could seek injunctions to ban hotels from housing migrants after violent protests at The Bell Hotel in Epping.
